Arsenal on alert as goalkeeper Lloris admits Spurs future hangs in the balance

Unsettled Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris insists he could be forced to quit the north London club in search of regular first-team football.

The £12million summer signing from Lyon has started just one Barclays Premier League game for Spurs, and speaking ahead of Saturday's derby clash with Arsenal, the 25-year-old admitted the situation is 'difficult to accept'.

Sportsmail revealed earlier this week that Gunners manager Arsene Wenger was a serious contender to sign Lloris ahead of their rivals during the summer but was put off over Lyon's asking price.

But Lloris' latest admission could see the Arsenal boss - who will attempt to sign a new keeper in January - renew his interest.

Lloris, who has returned to London after playing for France in their midweek win over Italy, admits his future hangs in the balance.

When asked if he might quit Andre Villas-Boas' side in January, the stopper said: 'I feel much at ease at the club but then again everything is possible.

'The coach of Tottenham has made his choice. 'I'm training and I do the maximum but it is difficult and hard to accept.
